Christopher Slide 1: Introduction Introduce myself (Name‚ sophomore‚ Knockout Mice) Slide 2: (what is a knockout mouse) ~A knockout mouse is a genetically engineered mouse. ~Researchers use the technique by “knocking out”/replacing the gene with an artificial piece of DNA. ~They do this so they could determine the specific function of the missing gene. ~Since humans are closely similar to mice‚ they can perform experiments on knockout mice and see the effects of the gene’s loss. ~This

Would you eat green carrots‚ or orange cabbage? Nowadays genetic engineering is interfering with more than just size. Genetic engineering is harmful‚ dangerous and also helpful. Genetic engineering in food began with rice. Rice didn’t contain very much vitamin A‚ and in the poorer parts of Asia‚ where rice is almost the only food the rural population have the lack of vitamin A lead to early blindness. Two genetic engineers by the names Drs. Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer transferred the genes

Introduction: Identification of bacteria is significant because they are not only beneficial but potentially hazardous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. In addition‚ Identifying bacteria can furthermore be utilized in various other areas to knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for producing certain foods

Genetic engineering (GE) refers to the technique of modification or manipulation of genes (the biological material or chemical blue print that determines a living organism’s traits) from one organism to another thus giving bacteria‚ plants‚ and animals‚ new features. The technique of selecting the best seed or the best traits of plants has been around for centuries. Humans have learned to graft (fuse) and hybridize (cross breed) plants‚ creating dwarfs and other useful forms since at least 1000 B

to discuss the millennium development goal 6 which is the eradication of HIV/AIDS‚ malaria and other diseases. This is a huge problem throughout Africa and especially closer to home in South Africa. I will be discussing the overview of the initial goal and discuss how the goal has progressed from origin to present time. I will also be looking at how South Africa has been dealing with the eradication of this goal. And finally my recommendations on how these goals could be achieved faster and better

While microbes are often viewed negatively due to their association with many human illnesses‚ microbes are also responsible for many beneficial processes such as industrial fermentation (e.g. the production of alcohol and dairy products)‚ antibiotic production and as vehicles for cloning in higher organisms such as plants. Scientists have also exploited their knowledge of microbes to produce biotechnologically important enzymes such as Taq polymerase‚ reporter genes for use in other genetic systems
